Have U ever made a citizen's arrest? Or perhaps courageously prevented someone from breaking the law. My Mum's friend managed to trip a thief over whi had just stolen an old lady's bag.

I always thought it would be cool to prevent someone fleeing the scene of a crime by hitting them with a can of beans. Very much like Paul Hogan in 'Crocodile Dundee'.

Anyways, any stories?

I kill rats and pigeons. Does that count?

I always call the police when I see something that's not right. I once tried to break up a bar fight and landed in the emergency room having my eye socket x-rayed to ensure it wasn't fractured and had to wear an eye patch for 2 days. Since that happened, I never personally involve myself. I've called on my neighbor's nasty boyfriend (who domestically abuses him), on a dunken fight outside of a bar after a Charlatans show where there were 5 men beating up 1 man, and once cause there was a homless-looking man so drunk he was wandering and weaving into the street and could barely walk. I was afraid he'd get run over.

Not yet no citizens arrest.

I clotheslined a guy who stole a bike once. This kid was unlocking his bike and the guy just grabbed it, hopped on and started peddling, so I stuck my arm out, he fell off and ran off. Not so much of an arrest, but thought I'd mention.

(Hi BTW JD, it's been a while - how’s life?)

Not really, it fuckin' hurt and he could have kicked my head in. I had to do a quick could I have him if things get desperate calculation No I didn't.

I was really quick, I just did it, and remember thinking afterwards that it was kinda stoopid.

The kid was cute, he just said "Thanks Mister" and rode off.
